TextureSynth

This filter is for creating seamless, higher resolution textures from unprocessed photos. The base map will be processed using the blend map. "View mode" guides you through each setup step and the following controls are grouped accordingly. "View mode 1": Overview of the extracted channels. Pick the one which most clearly shows separate elements of the image. "View mode 2": The full view of the chosen channel for tweaking. "View mode 3": Preview of one of the patches which will be used to build the end result. "View mode 4": The synthesized image without tinting. Use this when working with bump maps. "View mode 5": The final, tinted image. Credit goes to * Sphinx * for the CMYK extractor.

SeamlessTiling

The filter makes the input image seamlessly tileable. [Coverage]: The width of the seam cover. [Hardness]: How quickly the seam fades out. [Diff based hardness]: The hardness for areas where the seam cover and the underlying image differs significantly. [Edge fix width]: How much the seam cover narrows down toward the egdes. [Display mode]: Seamless image/Seam cover preview/Shape recognition preview/tiling preview/seam preview. The rest of the controls will be detailed in the filter's comment thread.

WaveletDecompose

October 29, 2010

This filter mimics the "Wavelet decompose" GIMP plugin. (The result is not 100% accurate but pretty close.) It can generate 6 wavelet scales, the residual data and a gallery showing everything in one image. To recompose the image, stack the 6 grayish images as separate layers on top of the residual image using Linear Light blending mode with 50% opacity.

ASCII art

Renders the image in "ASCII art" style. Works best on square images with dimensions of multiplies of 10.

Bump tool

April 24, 2009

This filter is for deriving bump, normal, specular, etc maps from photos. Source: The input channel, from the source image: R/G/B, H/S/B, L/a/b, CMY For a detailed tutorial about the controls please visit the comment thread on this filter at http://www.filterforge.com/filters/discuss2110.html Credit goes to... * Sphinx * for the CMYK extractor * Mike Blackney * for his pixel color filter * uberzev * for the Curve to shape filter * ThreeDee * for the UnGauss and AutoLevels snippets

FlareGen

March 5, 2007

This filter generates lens flares. Thanks Voldemort for the radial gradient snipet. I have no space here to explain all of the controls, but I hope they are more or less straightforward. Let's just see the basic elements and the more obscure controls: Flare 1: Primary flare. Flare 1-2 count * 10: Defines the number of arms they have. Use a number divisible by 10 to have proper star shape. Flare 2: Secondary flare, similar to Flare 1. Flare 3: Random streaks. Flare 3 color: You can use it to control the opacity of the streaks. Flare 3 type 2?: A different look for the streaks. Central glow: A radial gradient in the middle. Ring: A ring in the middle. It inherits the color of Flare 1-2.

FoliageSprite

Zoltan Erdokovy — Fri, 2 Mar 2007 00:00:00 EST

March 2, 2007

This filter creates foliage sprites for real time applications. Color 1: The base color of the leaves. Color 2: Coloration of the leaves. Density: The density of the branch. Leaf scale: The scale of the leaf texture. Group scale: The scale of the sprite's irregularity. Dark/Light patches: Control the strength of Color 2 on the surface.

IcicleWorks

Zoltan Erdokovy — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 00:00:00 EST

February 28, 2007

Icicle generator. - Scale: Horizontal scale of the icicles. - Roughness: Higher value adds smaller spikes. - Thickness: Higher value produces more pronounced contours. - Transparency: Higher value makes the ice more transparent. - Bottom: Sets where icicles end. - Bumpiness: Higher value makes the icicles more crooked. - Bump scale: Set the scale of the crookedness.

StoneSet

A stone generator. If the first pass of the preview render looks weird, then wait for the second one.
